I cleaned it all up and purchased topsoil/compost/plants on Sunday, tilled and planted on Monday, and planted the last of the seeds today (sunflowers, green and purple beans, basil, thyme, and parsley).<br />

I moved the tomatoes to the north side of the garden (fingers crossed this will help them *not* get their regular tomato plague). I also planted around the wildflowers that had already popped up - excited to have a garden that's a little more free-form this year (without me actively having to plan it that way ;) ).<br />
<br />
New for this year are eggplants and sweet orange snacking peppers (and skipping some of the things that haven't grown well for me - kale, swiss chard, etc.).<br />
